Episode 14: Are Parents Using Their Kids as a Retirement Plan? Let's talk about it

There’s a long-standing belief in many families: "you raise your children, and one day, they’ll take care of you" But is this love, tradition… or pressure? In this episode, we get real about the expectation for children to look after their parents in old age. Is it something earned, something owed, or something that should never be assumed? We unpack: Where the expectation comes from The line between care and obligation When support turns into pressure Should parents rely on their children financially? How this impacts relationships in adulthood This is an honest, thought-provoking conversation that challenges what we’ve always been told — and opens up a new perspective on family, responsibility, and boundaries. 💬 Join the conversation in the comments: Do parents have the right to expect care from their children… or should everyone plan their own future? #FamilyExpectations #RetirementPlan #ParentingDebate #GenerationalConversations #MoneyTalks #Adulting #Boundaries #PodcastDiscussion #RealTalk #LifeConversations #bgwunfiltered
